Pentagon confirms Earth is the center of the Universe and no evidence of intelligence beyond the Pentagon's purview.

Basically, we can neither confirm nor deny.

So what they're saying is that someone on Earth has created craft capable of incredible speeds, hovering, and god knows what else...and we don't know who? That seems a lot worse than it being aliens.

[SewerTapes]

Unidentified objects unable to be identified. Quality news.

The odds of Russia or China having this level of technology is miniscule. It's Aliens by default.

Just because they didn't find any answers doesn't mean it doesn't exist out there.

When even the pilots who fly our best planes and jets say that the aren’t man made, they can’t convince me it is.

Did anyone honestly expect a definite answer from our government lol!

"We have absolutely no idea what they are - but they're not aliens"

[jasoncook]

You should probably change the title to this. Aliens are not ruled out, and you titled this like aliens are ruled out. Get it right and don't use headlines to lie.

[poboy]

What the media had better be paying attention to is how many people arent fooled by this report .just read the comments youll see what I mean

[billybatson]

So going from a dead-stop to 13, 000 miles an hour, from underwater to outer space, in less than 1 second without burning up, sonic boom or making a splash in the water, isn't suggesting of alien technology? That's where I get confused....

[largerichard]

Why is everyone so surprised by that answer? Did you really think they would tell the public their biggest

[STELLVIA.]

Oh...so maybe it was my grand mother’s hand bag that was flying around defying all physics as we know them

[zacht]

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

[edwardallen]

They can say definitively that they have no idea.

[douglasbedell]

Same old same old these people, are so-called leaders, are absolutely ridiculous with their statements

[charlesritter]

"No evidence the UFOS are alien spacecraft " also No evidence the UFOS are not alien spacecraft.

[whatchyoutalkinboutwillis]

It should be a crime to keep this kind of information from the people of earth. We deserve and have every right to know what is happening. Really disgusting these people are.

Spoiler alert: As long as people keep trying to corner this into a narrow 'alien' or 'extraterrestrial' definition, it will never be understood.
